Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

Not that I am a computer wiz... but perhaps if you changed your name you could sign in...

Creating a new profile... Mary mom - maybe that way you can keep your name and sign in... just by adding a space you would be a new person....
just a thought

It might mean you lost your cookies mary, that can happen after a puter meltdown- I have no idea what cookies even are but if losing the ones in your puter is as bad as losing REAL cookies then it would be a DISASTER lolol

I just need 30 free minutes to sit down and play with it probably, from disabling the cookies, or enabling them, disabling my antivirus or something,
